AI, Labor And Commodification of Education For The Tech Billionaires

At: Cañada College in Redwood City CA, Building 9 room 154
(Zoom option available – info on the Zoom will be coming soon)

For decades, google and other tech companies have been given free reign to introduce their technology into public education. Education programs, testing, tracking and the collection of massive data from students, teachers and staff in education has been institutionalized by politicians both Democrats and Republicans.
There is now an ongoing drive to use AI in all levels of education to eliminate teachers and staff from K-12, Community Colleges, CSU and the UC system. The education unions have also partnered with these tech companies to train faculty on how to use AI tools. Will this partnership benefit the students, faculty and public is one of the questions that will be addressed by this panel.
